摘要
We simulate the effects of rotational misalignment of the tunnel barrier layer between aligned channel layers in a monolayer-graphene/hBN/monolayer-graphene system. Through use of density functional theory (DFT) methods, we demonstrate a reduction in tunneling current due to weakened coupling across the rotationally misaligned interfaces between the channel layers and the tunnel barrier.
